Very professional and arrived within a reasonable time frame. As the system had already been winterized, he gave me a small break on the total price of the service.
Description of Work: Winterized my sprinkler system. As a new owner of this house, I was completely unfamiliar with the design of the system, so he took time to walk me around showing me how it worked and what I should do in the spring. It was very helpful having an expert demonstrating this all to me as I have never had an irrigation system before.

All went according to plan--routine end of season sprinkler maintenance.
Description of Work: Close down the sprinkler system for the winter. Bob is incredibly responsive and came within 2 days of my phone call to schedule. He'd done repair work for us in the past and is the best!

Fantastic to work with. I requested 3 estimates from 3 different companies on AngiesList. Bob came in the middle but did the same level of work as the most expensive, and 2X as much as the cheapest. I spoke with Bob about my concerns about a bit of an over-engineered section, and he worked with me to get within the budget I was trying to work within while not losing coverage. He completed the entire installation in 1.5 days, and could have done it in 1 had it not been ridiculously hot. He also took me through the entire system and zone head by head and discussed settings, adjustments, and a detailed explanation of changes if I needed to make any. He also said that he would be more than willing to come out and adjust it if anything seemed off.
Description of Work: Put in a 5 zone sprinkler system on around 3/4 of an acre.

Bob was arrived on time and got to work right away. Because he had assessed the work over the phone with emailed pictures, he was quick to repair all the problems. He was also very informative answering a few of my questions since I had just recently moved into the house.
Description of Work: Fixed leaks on two spigots, one of which was very bad, and another leak from the irrigation system.

We went through a lot of back and forth coordinating schedule with the builder's plumber and Bob was always understanding and responsive. He did a great job and when we wanted to a minor change in the location of the sprinklers he did it right away without asking any questions etc. We plan to use him for maintenance.

The experience went well. I had The Sprinkler Doctor winterize my irrigation system in October and asked that he replace a sprinkler head at that time. He winterized the system in late October and then returned in early December to replace the sprinkler head and bury the piping. Billed me a short time later for both services. No problems along the way.
Description of Work: Winterized irrigation system, installed a new sprinkler head, and buried ~25 feet of irrigation pipiing. Price includes parts.

Working with Bob was a great experience. He responded to my email within a few hours, and gave his cell and home number. There were two challenges in my situation: (1) I had no idea where the sprinkler heads were, as I had just bought the house! and (2) we had just received several inches of snow, uncommonly early. Bob handled the job great! Very friendly and professional. I'll definitely call the Sprinkler Doctor again in the spring!

The "Sprinkler Doctor" responded very quickly to my email. We discussed the job and the price of the work. An appointment was scheduled. Bob was earlier than expected, which suited us fine. The job was done quickly and professionally. We will contact the "Sprinkler Doctor" again in the spring for start up and service.

We had had an astronomical water bill when we moved into the house a year ago so knew we had a leak in the soaker hose system so hadn't used the soaker hose system at all this summer and finally got around to calling the Sprinkler Doctor. I wish I had called him sooner! He was so knowledgeable about sprinkler systems, gave me advice on what kind of sprinkler heads to buy in the future, gave advice on where to add sprinkler heads should we decide to dig out the control box under the patio, and was very efficient. I would definitely hire him again. His price seemed very reasonable.
Description of Work: Bob first came to look at the problem and went through each of the six zones of our system. We discovered one of the soaker hose zones was not working at all. I then gave him approval to try to find the box that held the electronics for the soaker hose zones. We discovered it had been buried under the patio! (We are new homeowners). He came up with the creative solution of linking together the two soaker hose zones into a single zone so we wouldn't have to dig up and rebuild the patio. He came back a week or two later and repaired other leaks in the soakers hoses and connected the two zones together. He also redirected and cleaned out each sprinkler head as we tested the system.

They were very responsive and contacted me the same day I sent them an Angie's list request. They were very accommodating and came out the next day to view my job and give me a quote. They emailed a quote within 3 days and also mailed me a paper copy. I would have definitely used them, but they did not perform all the services I was interested in and I wanted one company to do it all. They did provide me a recommendation on another vendor who could perform the services they did not cover. Overall very knowledgeable and friendly.
Description of Work: Requested quote on in-ground sprinkler system and new grading/grass for 5000 SF yard.

It went extremely well. Bob came out in June to assess the situation and see if it was something he could solve. He spent about an hour with me going through the system, replicating the problems we were encountering. He had some clear ideas about ways we could solve the problem. He came back and did the job in a day (with a partner). I was very skeptical that this problem could be resolved and was so pleasantly surprised that Bob could do it. He's our go-to guy now!
Description of Work: "Rezone" our entire lawn sprinkler system into smaller more efficient zones. We have very low water volume coming into our home and the existing system couldn't operate on the volume. Bob came in and completely solved our problem (after many unsuccessful consults with other vendors). I can't recommend him enough--he knows his stuff and is willing to try many different approaches to get it right.

They were great. I thought they were really good. The owner was really a nice guy and was easy to work with. They came in and did the job in about a half a day and you couldn’t even tell that they’d been there. It looked just like it looked before they got there. Everything worked great so far. I was really amazed and they did a good job. They did some extra things that weren’t part of the quote; so they didn’t need to charge me for them. I was very happy and I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I used Sprinkler Doctor to install a sprinkler system for me probably about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

My best experience ever hiring someone to fix something in or around my house. If you have sprinkler problems and want someone honest, diligent, and extremely reasonably priced, you MUST try Bob.
Description of Work: I had a problem with my system that was really difficult to diagnose. Bob came out several times before figuring out that my system had a big leak under my driveway. Instead of having me spend hundreds of dollars (or more) digging up the driveway and then locating and repairing the leak, he rerouted the system, shut off a head that was not really needed, and got everything working for around a quarter of what I expected to spend.

great job, pleasant guy and it works.
Description of Work: The sprinkler doctor made a house call to a sick patient (my lawn) and got right down to fixing the problems and explaining the options with little bs. He made adjustments and some nozzle changes and boom we were back in business. I will definitly stay with he for fall shut downs and service in the future

I was having seious issues with an old irrigation system. I had 2 other big companies come out for estimates. One of them attempted to fix several fractured water lines in my system but couldn't get it right. I spent almost $1,000 with that company. I called the Sprinkler Doctor. He came out the same afternoon & proceeded to spend almost 2.5 hours diagnosing and fixing every single issue. No frills, no drama, just solid and competent service. In addition, the other company suggested a completely new system that would have cost 3-4K. The Sprinkler Doctor thought that my current system could be managed and repaired as needed for years to come for a fraction of that price.

After having unreliable service from another vendor, we switched to the Sprinkler Doctor. He is excellent, and endured my going around the yard with him, while he serviced our system. He has a terrific breadth and depth of knowledge and serviced the system with efficiency and thoroughness. We have used him to winterize our system and will continue to use him.
